A WIFE-MURDERER
watkins Dupuy ON trial ut Farm
yine-Hard TO Get a Jury.

correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
FARMvILLR, Va, Sept. 2, 1887.
The Circuit Court convened yester-
dav-Judge Irving presiding. The
Dnpuy wife-murder case, being the
first on the docket, was begun to-day.
1t will be remembered that on the
10th of last February Watkins Dupuy,
q resident of the lower end of this
county, near Sandy-Riyer church, and
a very repulsive little man, with con-
genital deafness and hare-lip, delibe-
rately murdered his wife and then made
several fruitless efforts at suicide.
As both parties to this tragic affair
were respectfully connected it created
no little stir and sensation throughout
the county. Domestic infelicity seems
to have been the immediate cause oil
this shocking murder, although not a
few persons are ready TO attest long
standing lunacy.
The list of witnesses is a long one,
and as many important points will have
TO be argued it is probable that this
case will occupy much OF the time oil
the Court.
Some difficulty is anticipated in find
ing a competent jury from the publicity
OF the crime in this and adjoining
counties. Of the panel summoned fol-
to-day only seven could be found VIII Q
Had not "iormed or expressed an opin

The trouble is not compromised the
fight is liable TO be long and bitter
one. The observation-disclosures have
been for years at the mercy OF
their employees. They recently
met and organized an associi-
ton for tho purpose of mutual protec'
ton against the exactions Of the box
makers union. The latter includes
nearly, il not all, the box-makers IN
the city, and has not been at all back
ward in asserting its power. Where
strike has failed they have resorted to
the boycott, and in one case were suc-
cessful in carrying their point with
that weapon. The present difficulty
arose over demand made by the union
for a revised scale Of wages and a
Saturday half holiday. The mannfac-
turers offered to consider the first de-
mand, but positively refused to shut
down their shops Saturday noon. The
men in the various shops have been IN
structed to make final demand Mon
day or Tuesday, and to strike IN the
event Of an unfayorable answer.

CHICAGO, September 3.--Formal no.
tice of the boycotting of the Northwest
ern National Insurance Company was
issued by the Chicago Underwriters
Association yesterday. The boycott is
the result of the Northwestern's with
drawal from the underwriters associa-
ton. This withdrawal was at the die
tation of z. ID. Armour, who is direc-
tor of the company. His action was
caused by the underwriters attempting
to enforce arule against him that all pro-
perry must be insured for at least 50
PER cent. OF its value. The contest be-
tween Armour and the underwriters is
exciting much interest in insurance cir
cles and lively times are looked for.

New YORK, September 3. - The
United Labor party scored a point
against the Socialists tonight. The
Socialists of the Tenth district "a So
cialist stronghold) got up meeting at
the Cooper Union, and the big hall
was filed. A good many Social

the intention of disturbing the
proceedings but the police-Captain

were on hand to preserve order
The German flag was placed in the
centre OF the stage and an American
flag at either side August w. Meyer
was announced as chairman, and he
came forward and was greeted
with cheers and n few cries of
"Give us Schevitch." Captain Nc
Cullogh thereupon informed the
audience that there should be order.
He was interrupted by man at the
rear of the hall, who was put ont.
Meyer was making a speech Of con-
graduation to his hearers on the large
number assembled, when DR.. McCilynn
and Henry George appeared on the
platform. They were cheered for sew
eral minutes. When Henry George
came forward to speak Socialists present
did what they could to drown the APP
plause.
